The International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) have signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen cooperation with the United Nations Countering Terrorist Travel Programme (CT Travel Programme).The CT Travel Programme, a flagship global initiative of UNOCT, assists member states in building their capabilities to detect and counter terrorists and serious criminals by using advance passenger information (API), passenger name record (PNR) and other passenger data in accordance with Security Council resolutions 2178 (2014), 2396 (2017), and 2482 (2019) and relevant privacy laws.IATA will join the CT Travel Programme as the first non-government partner of the initiative."This memorandum of understanding is a milestone not only for the CT Travel Programme but for UNOCT as a whole as this is the first agreement we have concluded with representatives of the private sector," said UNOCT Under-Secretary General Vladimir Voronkov."It symbolises the importance of partnering with the airline industry in establishing passenger data systems and provides a framework for cooperation," he said.IATA Director General and CEO Alexandre de Juniac said security is a common goal for airlines and governments.
